So - the bottom line answer to my question is that unless you are
running raid 5 and you have a high powered raid card with cache and
battery backup that there is no significant speed increase to use
hardware raid. For raid 0 there is no advantage.

If your raid is entirely on PCI plug in cards and you are doing RAID1
there is a speed up using hardware assisted raid because of the PCI bus
contention.


I would expect to see this with RAID5 as well, for the same reason...
